Science Roadshow 
hi you did a great job at the 6th grade assembly yesterday for hannah beardsley ! 🙂
Thanks “awesome girl” and I hope you are following my blogs!
Betty,
Just back from my 23rd Polar Bear season. With all my work in the north and many years of comparison, I can tell you the warming affect on northern sea and glacial ice and the effect on the animals are very real! Polar bear populations are dropping and the ice is melting fast. This bodes bad times for the north and their people.
Hi Jim, I just saw these comments on this part of the blog! I didn’t even know you could comment here! Anyway, sorry to have missed you in Crystal Lake, but I heard you were a big hit. I’m back in your old stomping grounds here in McMurdo. Thought of the photo you shared of you on Ob Hill when I climbed to the top last week. Your information on glacial ice and polar bears is distressing. We will talk about this together soon. Perhaps you can send me some information to include in a future blog post! Take care and Happy Holidays!

HI Emily,
I had a great experience in Antarctica. I learned SO much each day and it was great to work in such a remote environment. Our project was very interesting! Thanks for following my work. 🙂 Mrs. Trummel
That is so cool when I grow up I want to be just like you and go to Antarctica.
Hi Nathan,
I hope you work really hard in school and get to travel to Antarctica someday! There are SO many cool jobs in science, technology, engineering and math, and many other support jobs that are interesting. Come talk with me and I’ll share more. See you at Husmann real soon. 🙂

My grandson Jack Petty is a 3rd grader at Husmann and is real proud that one his school teacher’s is adventurer. His mother is a alum of NIU and a teacher in McHenry.
I’m very excited to be teaching at Husmann, and have always loved teaching there! I’ll have to look up Jack tomorrow…I’m doing two presentations at Husmann for 1-5th graders. 🙂

Hello Mrs. Trummel!! I just wanted to say that I’ll be at your assembly at MCC on the 24 of January. I hope to get to talk to you before or after the presentation.
Love your past student,
Aidan Schroeder
Hi Aidan, I am SO happy you are coming to the talk at MCC. Bring friends and family. I had another amazing experience in Antarctica…but pretty different than previous experiences. We saw heaps of wildlife, HUGE icebergs, and well…I don’t want to spoil my show…come see me to learn more! See you soon! Mrs. Trummel
Hope to see you there!!!!!!!
Great work you’re doing, Betty. I’m signed up for the Ushuaia in January ’18, the one cruise that is going into the Weddell Sea, ice permitting. Your site gave me a lot of good information as well as the pleasure of seeing how the ship has been used for such a positive cause. Best wishes with your work and travels!
You will love the journey, Richard. It’s hard to go to sleep because you don’t want to miss a single moment. Enjoy!
We just launched a periodic table with all samples of all the elements cast in acrylic. Check it out at this link. You won’t be disappointed I promise. And when you’re done share the page.
